I have had chickens for just over a year after rehoming ex-laying hens and I currently have 4 chickens but only 2 lay. They are only hybrid chickens raised for farms but I would like eventually to have special breeds.

I originally found BackYardChickens.com when googling information about treats our chickens can and can't have a refer to the list often.

I also have 4 cats which are frightened of the chickens so won't go near them!!

Some of my other hobbies include crochet, cross stiching, amateur dramatics and playing Rugby

I look forward to chatting with other chicken enthusiasts x x

Hello. Great to see you here! I see you only have 4 hens. I'm sure they will multiply when chicken math gets a hold!

Hi, welcome to BYC & the UK thread!

I too rehomed 3 ex commercial hens and they are great layers. Are you in Hull by any chance?

 

[Hullchicks]

I most certainly am, what gave it away!!

I would love more we have a reasonable sized garden for the hens we have but don't want to over crowd!!!

Wise choice! They can soon take over! I never wanted grass in my garden anyway!!

Mmmmm....

Been to Hull quite a few times over the past 3 months to the vets with the puppy & his broken leg. I’m not far from you just down the M62 near Goole

I wouldn't want this in my garden!

Or these!

I need hugs, two of the three quails hatched died -_-

Apparently, and I might be wrong, but I heard that imported dried mealwoms are fed and grown on faeces.[/QUOTE]
The problem with mealworms is that in general, they are grown in China and they refuse to allow inspection of premises and will not say what they feed them....
